Chapter 4 Flashcards
Spinal Cord
Dura mater Arachnoid mater Pia mater Dorsal roots (dorsal root ganglia) Ventral roots Spinal nerves Lumbar enlargement Conus medullaris Filum terminale Cauda equina
Breasts, anterior/lateral abdominal wall:
Linea alba Rectus abdominis Rectus sheath Tendinous intersections External oblique Internal oblique Transversus abdominis

Trapezius
Rhomboid minor
Rhomboid major
more muscles
Deltoid Subscapularis Erector spinae Subclavius Innermost intercostals
Erector spinae
Iliocostalis
Longissimus
Spinalis
external intercostal muscles
begin at the vertebrae but do not extend all the way to the sternum
internal intercostal muscles
begin at the sternum but do not extend all the way towards the vertebrae, found in the interior thoracic wall
superficial layer
external oblique
deep to external oblique
internal oblique
deep to internal oblique
transversus abdominis
rotator cuff muscles
supraspinatus, infraspinatus, subscapularis, and teres major
deepest muscle
quadratus lumborum
There are 4 major groups
prime mover (agonists), antagonists, synergists, and fixators
prime move (PM)
is the major muscle behind a specific movement; for example, the pectoralis major muscles are the PM of arm flexion
Antagonist
“against the leader” as the name implies, works in opposition to the PM
Synergist
work with prime mover muscles to limit any unnecessary movements made during a specific action
Fixators
provide a stable base for the PMs
4 major actions of muscle movements
flexion, extension, abduction, adduction
abductor muscle
deltoid
adductor muscle
teres major and minor
triangle of auscultation
landmarks that medical professionals use to target the best area to listen to respiratory sounds, thinnest area of muscle
Flexion
pectoralis major, deltoid
Extension
Latissimus dorsi, teres major, deltoid
Adbduction
deltoid, supraspinatus
Adduction
pectoralis major, latissimus dorsi, teres major
Medial rotation
pectoralis major, latissimus dorsi, teres major, deltoid, subscapularis
Lateral rotation
deltoid, infraspinatus, teres minor
location of triangle of auscultation
bordered by teres major and infraspinatus laterally, the trapezius medially, and latissimus dorsi inferiorly
Ausultation
the practice of listening to organ sounds, usually with stethoscope
shoulder joint is very moble
it is less stable and more prone to serious injuries
rotator cuff muscles
encircle the shoulder joint to provide some stability
Erector spinae
prime mover of back extension
